THE BALLAD OF CAPTAIN THUNDERGUT

Verse 1 I was born on a deck with a splinter in my back And a curse in my mouth and a map in my sack Mama said, “Boy, you ain’t right in the head” I said, “AYE!” then I stole a ship instead I learned my math by countin’ stolen gold Learned my love from a mermaid cold Lost my leg? Nah, just twisted my knee Still kickin’ ass on the open sea Pre-Chorus Now listen up ye scurvy sons— This ain’t a tale for the weak-hearted ones CHORUS YO HO — THUNDERGUT RISES WITH A RUM-SOAKED ROAR I’LL SING YOU A SONG THEN I’LL STEAL YOUR SHORE YO HO — NO FEAR, NO GLORY JUST ME AND THE TIDE IF I’M GOING DOWN I’M GOING DOWN SCREAMIN’ “PIRATE PRIDE!” Verse 2 I fought a kraken with a broken spoon Sang harmony with the cursed moon My crew’s got issues, emotional scars One guy cries when he plays the drums too hard We ain’t clean, we ain’t sane, we ain’t kind But damn if we don’t shred in time When the cannons blast and the chorus hits Even the ocean’s like, “okay this slaps” Pre-Chorus You hear that wind? That’s destiny… —or indigestion— EITHER WAY, LET’S GOOOO CHORUS YO HO — THUNDERGUT HOWLS LIKE A DRUNKEN GOD WITH A BEARD FULL OF SECRETS AND A VERY LOUD COD YO HO — WE SING, WE SIN WE SCREAM AT THE SKY IF THE SEA TAKES ME NOW TELL HER I WENT DOWN FLYIN’ HIGH Bridge I once loved a girl with a compass for a heart She pointed me home… then ripped me apart But the sea held me close, said “Son, you’re a mess” I said “Yeah, but I’m MY mess” BREAK RUM! GOLD! QUESTIONABLE MORALS! RUM! GOLD! QUESTIONABLE MORALS! FINAL CHORUS YO HO — THUNDERGUT FOREVER TILL THE WAVES GIVE OUT I’LL SING SO LOUD THAT THE STARS START TO SHOUT YO HO — WHEN THE END COMES CALLIN’ LET THE LEGEND BE TOLD HE DIDN’T DIE QUIET HE ROCKED THE SEA AND STOLE ITS GOLD Outro …alright who drank the last rum because I specifically labeled that barrel
